I love Sakura. It is honestly my most favourite flower in the world, and seeing them out in full bloom, or even when they start to fall onto the pavement; it really makes me the happiest person in the world.
I first saw Sakura (cherry blossoms) in 2011, but the mood for Hanami, or viewing parties, was very subdued due to the 2011 Tohoku disaster. In 2012, I was lucky to be able to have the full Hanami experience. That includes, drinking beer (or champaign with my mum!) along the streets and viewing the beautiful surroundings.
Seriously, if you are going to visit Japan, please go during Sakura season, which can be during the months of March or April. :))

This was outside my office, after either a typhoon or a very bad storm. I think it was a typhoon.

This was taken on one of my first dates with my sunshine. We went to see the cherry blossoms in Nakameguro, followed by a game of Othello! :))

My mama just arrived from Australia the night before, and this was one of the first things she got to see! It was her first time to see Cherry Blossoms :)
